Tennis News : Williams sisters take to the red carpet ahead of 'King Richard' premiere

Tennis star Venus Williams didn't just cry the first time she saw "King Richard," the new biopic about her family starring Will Smith as her father, she started weeping when she read the script.

"I cried on the script," Williams said at the movie's world premiere at the American Film Institute Fest on Sunday night in Hollywood.

Smith said he grew to love the Williams sisters' father Richard during filming.

The film shows how it was his dream and plan to raise Venus and Serena to be tennis stars, and how he paved their own unique path to that destination, including declining to allow them to play in junior tournaments before going pro in an effort to protect their childhoods as long as possible.
